This game worries me. The last couple of games, Duke hasn't played too well. Maryland put up a good fight in Cameron the first time around. Maryland will be rocking...they hate Duke with a passion.
I just hope they can focus and put on a show to shut their fans up right off the bat. I expect a Duke win, regardless.

K will have them ready, but Maryland's no slouch.
Wonder why these days a team "sucks" if they don't bulldoze every opponent by 25? Maryland has a very good team this year, in my opinion, especially at home. Will they win the NCAA title? Probably not, but the odds aren't in any one team's particular favor. If Duke doesn't play well, Maryland could win this one - no question.

Tough, indeed. I had a bad feeling about it. On to the next one.

Exactly right.
Think it was on si.com, but I remember a short while ago (month or so), someone wrote a piece on the '76 Indiana team and why he felt no team would ever again go undefeated. It's hard, man, and like a bunch of us have written it seems like this year, more than many others, road wins are damn tough to come by. I said Friday Maryland's tough and, I think, underrated. Despite their fans' well-earned boorish reputation, I'm sorry to see them go from a "history" standpoint. Charter member of the league, I remember from kid-dom all the way to Saturday the wars I've seen (on TV and in person) between Maryland, State, UNC, and Duke. Fantastic ballgames, I will miss them from that standpoint.
Anybody that minimizes the effect of fatigue at this point in the season doesn't know what they're talking about, but I don't feel that in any way should take away from Maryland's performance - no asterisk needed.

Definitely agree with that Marty. We are definitely losing some historic games, but hopefully with the new additions they'll pick up where they left off.

Maryland is NO JOKE at home! Hated to see the Blue Devils lose to them. It's turning out to be a very interesting year in the ACC!
